 :) Here's one that I got with my 17-40 wide angle lens at a distance of 8 feet or less:

I guess my skills as a hunter aren't so rusty after all! ;) :) :D

Judging from a year of his photos, he has a way of telling when any animal is about to make a poo, he knows they're distracted and then sneak up while they're working up to the event.

I rely on my big bushy beard to lull the animals into thinking I'm a Bigfoot in disguise, so that they aren't afraid of me. ;) :) :D

By the way shoot-em-dead, I did have my 400 mm. telephoto on me, plus a 2X xtender in case I needed them, but at the distances I was away they would not focus. :( ;) :) :D

Your pic now has a Photobucket error
"This pic exceeds the bandwidth"?
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
